Zoom H8 Handy Recorder

Ik heb deze Zoom h8 nu enkele jaren. Al vanaf het begin zit er een hele rare hoge bromtoon in opnames van langere duur. Deze toon begint ongeveer 3 minuten na het starten van een opname, de ene keer later de andere keer eerder. Dit was op zo'n hoge frequentie dat dit met een EQ vrij makkelijk oplosbaar was. Omdat ik verder wel tevreden ben (de kwaliteit van de opnames is verder prima) heb ik het erbij gelaten.

Inmiddels (3,5 jaar later) is die toon zo hard dat het geluid zelfs bij gebruik van externe microfoons hoorbaar is. Daardoor heb ik er eigenlijk niks meer aan. Misschien heb ik pech met de mijne, maar ik had gehoopt er ook nog na de garantieperiode plezier van te hebben...
